BORN JANUARY 5 IN KANSAS CITY MISSOURI. JOHNNY IS THE OLDEST OF 4 CHILDREN. RAISED INITIALLY ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO IT WAS THE FEAR OF GANGS THAT PROMPTED HIS MOTHER TO RELOCATE HER CHILDREN BACK TO KANSAS CITY.

AS A CHILD JOHNNY WAS A NATURAL AT ENTERTAINING, SINGING AND RECITING LINES FROM HIS FAVORITE MOVIES HE QUICKLY FOUND HIMSELF IN PLAYS AT CHURCH AND SCHOOL. HE WAS ALSO A BIT MISCHIEVOUS AND SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF TIME ON PUNISHMENT AND STUCK IN HIS ROOM. WHEN ASKED ABOUT HIS DAYS ON "LOCK DOWN" HE SIMPLY THANKS GOD FOR HBO! IT WAS THERE THAT HE WAS ABLE TO REALLY STUDY AND LEARN ABOUT STAND UP COMEDY. IN FACT HIS FASCINATION WITH STAND UP COMEDY GREW SO STRONG THAT AT 16 HE BEGGED HIS MOTHER TO LET HIM TRY HIS HAND AT COMEDY. SHE TOLD HIM THAT HE NEEDED TO GRADUATE COLLEGE FIRST. IT WAS SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE JOHNNY WOULD TRY HIS LUCK AT STAND UP COMEDY. HE WAS STRUGGLING WORKING TWO JOBS AND TRYING TO PUT HIMSELF THROUGH COLLEGE. HE WONDERED INTO A LOCAL COMEDY CLUB ON AN OPEN MIC NIGHT AND HASN'T LOOKED BACK SINCE.

JOHNNY HAS SPENT YEARS HONING HIS CRAFT AND ENTERTAINING THE MASS WITH HIS NEVER DISAPPOINTING, HILARIOUS LOOKS ON LIFE, LOVE, PEOPLE AND HIS OWN EXPERIENCES. WHETHER PERFORMING IN A CORPORATE SETTING OR FOR CHURCH ORGANIZATIONS OR AT BARS AND COMEDY CLUBS NATIONWIDE. ANY AND ALL THAT HAVE SEEN HIS SHOW SAY THE SAME THING, "WHY ARENT YOU FAMOUS YET!".

TRULY ONE OF MOST VERSATILE COMEDIANS WORKING THE ROAD TODAY JOHNNY HAS SHARED THE STAGE WITH SOME OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN COMEDY TODAY, FROM SHERYL UNDERWOOD, BRUCE BRUCE, MIKE EPPS, KATT WILLIAMS TO DAVE ATTELL, LARRY THE CABLE GUY, CARLOS MENCIA, JOHN WITHERSPOON AND SO MANY OTHERS.
